RCCG SUNDAY SCHOOL STUDENT'S MANUAL [LESSON TWENTY] DATE: Sunday, 15Th January 2017. TOPIC: THE EFFICACY OF THE WORD. MEMORY VERSE: ‘’For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." [Hebrews 4:12 KJV]. BIBLE PASSAGE: John 2:1-5 (KJV). 1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. 3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. INTRODUCTION: God leads His children in definite ways, He loves to speak plainly with His own but when He speaks in codes, using signs and symbols, it is important that the recipients of such messages return to ask for the meaning or else the purpose of the communication is defeated (John 10:3). How do you hear from God plainly? May He speak clearly to you from now on, in Jesus' name. LESSON OUTLINES: 1. The word is for a purpose 2. The word is specific and time bound THE WORD IS FOR A PURPOSE: The word God sends is for a purpose. It is to meet needs. He sends His word: 1. To heal physically, spiritually and all-round (Psalm 107:20) 2. To deliver from trouble, dangers, and death, etc (Psalm 107:20) 3. To set us free from satanic bondages and self-indulgence (John 8:32,36) 4. To bless and deal with frustration, failures, etc (Luke 5:4) 5. To save from sin and its consequences (Psalm 119:9) 6. To direct and show the way (Psalm 119:105) 7. To comfort and encourage us (Joshua 1:3,5-6) 8. To protect (Psalm 91:11-12; Psalm 105:14-15) 9. To instruct us (Joshua 1:8; Proverbs 1:10) 10. To correct us (Proverbs 3:11-12; 2Timothy 3:16) Just receive the word as sent, obey and the purpose will be accomplished in your life (Isaiah 55:11). THE WORD IS SPECIFIC AND TIME BOUND: The word instructs on what to do and how to do it. The word of God came in a very specific manner to Peter (Luke 5:4), Joshua (Joshua 1:3), Jonah (Jonah 1:1-2) and the disciples (Mark 16:15). While some obeyed, others disobeyed but with dire consequences (Jonah 1:3,12). Are you obeying God? Even when the word sent is coded, seek Him for the meaning (Luke 8:4). The word sent also states when action is to be taken (Eccles 3:1-3). No procrastination is allowed. The purpose will be defeated if action is not taken at the right time (2Kings 5:9-14). Delay is dangerous and it is a sin (Hebrews 4:7). God is a God of time (Isaiah 55:6). Jesus followed suit and we must also follow in His step (John 9:4). CONCLUSION: The word is all-embracing. It will meet all your needs- physical, spiritual, social, economic etc. It comes very straightforward and time bound. Hearken and it shall be well with you. QUESTIONS: 1. Mention three purposes for which God sent His word. 2. What do you understand by the word of God being specific? 3. God is a God of time. Support this assertion with a Bible passage. |
